These buttons allow you to secure your Tablet PC from unauthorized use and to launch specific applications with the touch of a button. If the security system is activated, upon starting your Tablet PC or resuming from Standby, Hibernate, or shutdown mode the security system will require you to enter a password code using the security buttons. After you enter the correct password, your Tablet PC will resume operation. The five security/tablet PC buttons are located on the bottom right-hand side of the display when it is configured to be used as a notebook. (Figure 2-18) Security functions: All five buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and the fifth is used as an Enter button. See the right-hand column of Table 2-2. Tablet PC functions: All five of the buttons have primary functions. Four of the buttons have secondary functions when used as application buttons. The secondary functions are activated by pressing the Function (Fn) button while pressing the application button. See Table 2-2 for specific functions. The secondary functions of the Application A and B buttons can be changed to launch any application. See Changing Tablet PC Button Functions on page 24 When the system is logging on or when it is locked (i.e., when you have the Logon or Computer Locked window showing on your desktop), the A and B buttons act as [Tab] and [Enter] keys, respectively.

SETTING UP LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL When you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords. Numbered Buttons Use these buttons to enter your password.(figure 2-18) Enter Button After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the Tablet PC. (Figure 2-18) PASSWORDS The user and supervisor password may be set on this Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for all tablets and notebooks in a work group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual computers in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simultaneously. 24

31 Getting to Know Your Tablet PC The following are valid button strokes: Pushing [4] by itself Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. {[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter] [4], [enter] {[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter] Setting Passwords When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the supervisor password before the user password. The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system. You must set the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work. Setting Supervisor Password You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password. 1. Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on Run. 3. Type in: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security Panel Application\Supervisor\ FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter] 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password. Setting User Password 1 Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on All Programs. 3. Click on Security Panel Application -> Security Panel Application. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password. You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above. USING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off, Standby, or Hibernation state. You always need to push the Security Panel buttons to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password. From Off State 1. Turn on your system. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press Enter button. For example, if the password is 22222, first press Button 2 five times and press the Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to normal operation. From Standby/Hibernation State 1. Press your Suspend/Resume button. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press Enter button. The Tablet PC should resume normal operation. Incorrect Password Entry If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will beep for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password is entered or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password. Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor password can override the user password. PRECAUTIONS Opening and Closing the Cover By default, closing the cover automatically places your system into Standby mode. (You can change the action the system takes when the cover is closed by opening the Power Options Properties icon in the Control Panel, and selecting the Advanced tab. Make a choice from the drop down menu for When I close the lid of my portable computer: and click the [OK] button.) Opening the cover does not automatically place the Tablet PC into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button. 25
